Abstract
In a conveyor for transporting a vehicle or other object in one direction along a track having a longitudinal slot centered upon a longitudinal axis, a power-driven endless chain and at least one pusher dolly connected to the chain. The dolly includes an upright arm extending through and movably mounted upon the track. A link pivotally interconnects the arm and the chain for movement in unison, and an elongated chain guide or guides centrally underlie the track and are arranged upon the longitudinal axis and secured to the track. Each chain guide cooperatively receives the chain and maintains it in registry with the axis against lateral deflection.
